T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Swordsoffreedom]

South Africa fought hard for the target of 238 runs given by India and lost the match by 16 runs. David Miller's willow for South Africa was excellent. Miller's willow came from 106* runs from 47 balls at a strike rate of 225.53. The achievement is possible due to the fighting spirit. As seen in the Indian batsmen.  The match ended with a bone-to-neck fight and the match was enjoyable

I thought South Africa gonna won that match but at the end  India successfully put them under pressure and that helped India to win.  But both team bowlers can't do well on that match  but the performance of the Batmens was commendable. Specifically David Miller, Quinton De kock from South Africa and Suriya kumar  Yadav , Rahul , Virat kohli did good in that match .  

In this game, I thought that South Africa will win the match at first. But then India took possession of the match. However, India did not bowl well. After that, South Africa put the batting under a lot of pressure. But I think the game was very well played.  And did South Africa play a bit of a poor game in this match.

The Indian bowlers bowled very well at the beginning of South Africa's innings. South Africa was able to collect only 29 runs after losing 2 wickets in the first 5 overs. Till 10 overs we have seen enough good bowling from the Indian bowlers. But after de Kock and Miller came to the crease, the Indian bowlers could not perform well due to their aggressive batting. South Africa collected 151 runs in the last 10 overs. They collected an average of 15 runs per over. We have not been getting good performances from Indian bowlers for a long time.

India have shown good performance both batting and bowling especially Indian bowlers were very good Indian bowlers put South Africa batsmen under a lot of pressure South Africa could not play any shots I think they could have taken some great shots if they wanted to maybe they took wickets  The shots were not taken for fear of falling

When you are batting against a big target like 238, your aim is not to keep wickets, but to score runs in any way. If the target is to win the match, one must try to score runs from every ball. or must accept a certain defeat. South Africa's top order started the innings very badly. Miller and de Kock batted brilliantly but in the end, they could not win. Had South Africa been able to bat a bit better in the first 5/10 overs, maybe Miller and de Kock could have given South Africa a win. However, I think the next match will be more competitive.

Third and last T20I match between India and South Africa will be played today, at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. The news from Indian camp is that they are going to rest both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. And for India, this is the last T20 match before the world cup starts on 16th October. India is placed in Group1, along with South Africa, Pakistan and Bangladesh. They will be looking for a better performance this time, after the debacle they had last time (they failed to advance to the knockout stage in 2021). 

Virat Kohli is slowly getting back to his form and to avoid unwanted injury these two might've been given rest. Placed on the Group 1 and it is to play its first match against Pakistan after the warm-up matches against Australia and New Zealand. This time matches will be so close, because every team in the group is with some advantages over the other. Small mistakes will decide the result of the matches.

I would say Virat Kohli is yet to fully return to form. His performance is still erratic. KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav's performance is much better than Kohli's. I would say there is no point in resting Kohli now, he must play consistently to get back into form. India needs an experienced player like Virat Kohli in the upcoming World Cup. Resting Kohli now is no guarantee that he will not lose form again. So I would say it is important to keep Kohli in the squad for both the warm-up matches.

Looking at the results of a few matches of Virat Kohli, it is not difficult to understand that he is not back in form. Because to return to form, what I understand is consistent performance. In some matches his performance was very nice and some others are not acceptable. So at this moment it cannot be said that he is in form. So he should be given more chances to play to bring consistency back.

His playing days for his country are still plenty long. Despite a low batting impact in 2022, his form fluctuates throughout his career. The difference between class and form is that class is permanent and form is temporary. Consistency is the only thing he lacks, but he is contributing to the team, which is good. As soon as the World Cup begins, Virat will be informed. The only thing he needs to do is keep playing good cricket.

Currently, with the performance which are they giving at home most chances they could be in good shape in Australia, but it's going to be not easy because different conditions and pitches are surely going to be had big impact on their performance even Indian players are doing good in Australia for last few years but still in this format nothing is sure any collapse can bring them down and out of the game which is all time on cards with Asian teams which are having problems in SENA countries.

Still most chances we can expect better performance from them with Sri Lanka after winning Asia Cup is good, and their confidence level is also high India is also doing good, but again unpredictable Pakistan is talk of the cricket town how they will perform a big question which is not answerable right now.

Virat Kohli plays very well in some matches and in some matches he plays very bad. I think when Virat Kohli was batting well then India team was very strong. But most of the Indian players are not playing very well now. But  Virat Kohli can do better if given more opportunities.

Although this is a dead rubber but I really don't like experimenting and resting main players at this stage, maybe management is worried about unwanted injuries and doesn't want to take any risk.

Btw this is the first T-20 bilateral series win for India against South Africa at home so 3-0 would be nice.

Team management is again experimenting! K L Rahul and Kohli started to play good in last couple of matches and if they had played today's match too then it would have helped them more. I don't understand why the team management wants to break the momentum? They could have rested a few bowlers perhaps and not batters.

Every day is not always the same, sometimes people go through good times and sometimes people have to go through bad situations. I think this is also happened with Virat Kohli. However, his performance before the Asia Cup was not that good. It can be said that he was a bit out of form, but in the Asia Cup, his performance improved slightly.  Then we saw better performance with some other countries including Australia.  But I think Virat Kohli will return to form and contribute well for India in the upcoming T20 Cup.

India women VS UAE women

Another game that is completely dominated by the Indian team. The target set by India for UAE to chase is 179 runs. UAE has already lost 2 wickets for just 5 runs. Jemimah Rodrigues was again at her best today. After today's win, the Indian side will lead the point table

After Asia Cup performance there were hopes Virat Kohli is going to be good in home matches against Australia and South Africa, but expectations are not fulfilled with this now again he is in limelight for his future in this format for me T20 World cup which is going to play in Australia after few days is going to be vital for his future because if he is able to perform better than surely he is going to stay in Indian team for all formats otherwise his days are numbered because fans are now thinking negative about him, and he needs to play without any pressure which is important for his career and teams fortune which is already having two setbacks with Jaspirat Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja and now if he fails then surely they could be in threat and this is not acceptable for fans at home.

I think the outcome of this match is already known like previous matches. In this tournament India is the most of the favourite team and they were also giving performance like that. If everything goes well I think it will be possible to stop UAE between 120 or 100. I already choose India for today.

UAE was only able to score 74 runs. They had a lot of wickets in hand but they did not even try to go after the Indian bowlers.

Absolutely India is the favorite team in the Asia cup. The only team that can challenge India's dominance in this tournament is Pakistan. I am eagerly waiting for October 7th when these two teams will play each other. The top two teams in this Asia cup are India and Pakistan.

@lixer I won’t say that Virat has performed exceptionally well in the last few matches, but it seems that there’s a slight hope that he’s recovering his best form and his contribution will be very important for India in the World Cup. Furthermore am I alone who’s upset that DK is being chosen over Pant, because I felt that Pant can attack bowler’s much better than DK can especially if India needs to quickly score runs.

India has already won the T20 series with South Africa and today's match result won't have an impact on the series. However, if you are betting you can bet on India as this is a safer choice. The odds are near 1.50 at the moment and it is a good one when you see the probability of India winning the match is much higher.

[rojan]

In India vs South Africa, 3rd T20 match, India won the toss and decided to bowl. I think they took the right decision. In this match, if India's bowlers can keep South Africa batting under pressure, then India has a chance to win this match. Now batting.  Doing South Africa they scored 30 runs in 4 overs.

[AnotherAlt]

However, if you are betting you can bet on India as this is a safer choice. The odds are near 1.50 at the moment, and it is a good one when you see the probability of India winning the match is much higher.

There is nothing safer In T20Is, Especially when playing with one of the Top 5 teams. Don't forget that South Africa is Holding No. 4 Position in ICC T20I Ranking. I know India is a favorite in this match. That's why the betting odds are 1.50. While writing, South African Captain struggled with the bat and scored three runs from 8 balls before going to the pavilion. The score is now 61/1 After seven overs. The current Run rate is 8.71. Rilee Rossouw and  Quinton de Kock look like they are on fire. Let's see what happens. South Africa will surely try to come back today.

[UmerIdrees]

If a team is bad in both batting and bowling then how can that team expect to win Pakistan batsman Babar Azam has shown great irresponsibility here the fault of pillar is not a consideration I thought the match will be very exciting I will enjoy the game with great pleasure at the beginning of the game when Pakistan  Ever since the fall of the team's two opening batsmen, the England bowlers have been jubilant But England did very well in both bowling and batting and the style of Pakistani players showed that Pakistan was going to lose today's match and in the end Pakistan lost to England by 67 runs.

Super bad play by the Pakistan team in the last and decisive match. They could not have played a worse match than they played yesterday. Rizwan and Babar did not score and we had the batting line exposed. This is not how you win the matches, series or world cups.

If we are going with this mindset to the World cup, then I am afraid there is nothing for us but to lose. However sometimes I think they gifted the match to England in their honor to visit Pakistan,  

The way Pakistan played its very much clear that they have zero intent to win the match. Also there performance in 6th T20I was not how they played in first 5 T20I. Anyways done is done and we have to move on. Its very much clear that Pakistan won't be able to perform well in WC with this squad.

I admit that Pakistan does not play well in the last T20 against England and lost the series but this does not mean that Pakistan will perform badly in the WC.

Remember if everyone thinks Pakistan is the weakest team in the T20 World cup, then for sure, you're in for a surprise.  You should not underestimate the Pakistan team in any circumstances, especially not in the World cups

South Africa is playing relatively well today. They have already managed to score 104 runs in 11 overs. Looks like they will try their best to win today. And if they can't win, then have to bear the title of Whitewash. Today's run can keep them in good place. But chances of more than 200 runs are also not reliable. If we look at the last match where the target was 233 runs and they able to score 216.
